The right plants for the right place – how to choose planting material for your afforestation

Skogsplantering

Choosing the right plant type is crucial for the future growth and resilience of the forest. Should you plant spruce on healthy soil or pine on drier altitudes? Perhaps you want a leafy element for biodiversity?

At Grimslövs Skogstjänst, we help you choose the right planting material based on your goals, soil conditions and local recommendations. We work with high-quality seedlings that are adapted to southern Swedish conditions.

Common plant types:

  • Spruce: High growth, good for healthy soil but sensitive to storms
  • Pine: Drought resistant, suitable for drier soils, but requires clearing
  • Deciduous trees (birch, oak, aspen): Favors biodiversity and stability
  • Improved seedlings: Faster growth and better resistance

We offer advice, delivery of seedlings and professional planting. With the right start, your forest will have the best conditions for the future.
